This comprehensive global assessment of 215 studies found that seagrasses have been disappearing at a rate of 110 km2 yr−1 since 1980 and that 29% of the known areal extent has disappeared since seagRass areas were initially recorded in 1879.

The Central Role of Dispersal in the Maintenance and Persistence of Seagrass Populations
- G. Kendrick, M. Waycott, J. Verduin
- Environmental Science
- 2011
The role that sexual reproduction, pollen, and seed dispersal play in maintaining species distributions, genetic diversity, and connectivity among seagrass populations is explored and the relationship between long-distance dispersal, genetic connectivity, and the maintenance of genetic diversity is addressed.
